HC Deb 21 July 1927 vol 209 cc577-85
Mr. CLYNES

May I now ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to announce the business for next week, and may I also ask him whether he can announce the date on which the House will be asked to reassemble after the Recess?

Mr. CHURCHILL

After this week the business outstanding which it is necessary to conclude before the Summer Recess is as follows:

and to any other Bills which have been passed by this House;

And, finally, the Motion for the Summer Adjournment.

The business for next week will be:

  • On Monday, 25th July, 18th Allotted Supply Day; Board of Trade Vote.
  • On Tuesday, 26th July, 19th Allotted Supply Day; Board of Education Vote.
  • At Ten O'clock, the outstanding Votes in Committee will be put from the Chair.
  • On Wednesday, 27th July, 20th Allotted Supply Day; Ministry of Labour Vote.
  • At Ten O'clock, the outstanding Votes on Report will be put from the Chair.
In the event of the Trade Disputes Bill not being substantially amended in another place, it is hoped that it will be possible on Thursday, 28th July, to put down as the first Order the Second Reading of the Appropriation Bill, and afterwards, at about dinner-time, to enter upon the consideration of the Lords Amendments to the Trade Disputes Bill. Then, on Friday, 29th July, it would be possible to take the remaining stages of the Appropriation Bill and the Motion for the Summer Adjournment.

The merit of this proposal is that should more time be required for the Lords Amendments to the Trade Disputes Bill, we still have Saturday, 30th July, to fall back upon in order to avoid sitting on August Bank Holiday.

During the early part of the week, at the conclusion of other business, it will be necessary to consider the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill, the Workmen's Compensation (Transfer of Funds) Bill (Lords), and the Lords Amendments to any Bills other than the Trade Disputes Bill.

The Bills now before Parliament which will have to be Considered in the Autumn are:

and the following Bills to come from another place: The remaining stages of the It is not possible to give an exhaustive list of the new Bills which may be required to be passed into law in the Autumn, but it will be necessary to pass the

Expiring Laws Bill and the

Unemployment Insurance Bill.

It is proposed that the House should reassemble on Tuesday, 8th November.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 15, Business other than Business of Supply may be taken before Eleven of the Clock, and that the Proceedings on the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill be exempted at this day's Sitting from the provisions of the Standing Order (Sittings of the House)."—[Mr. Churchill.]

Mr. BUCHANAN

On a point of Order. May I ask, in the first place, whether this should not be taken as two separate Motions, and, secondly, whether the part relating to the Isle of Man (Customs) Bill is debateable?

Mr. SPEAKER

If hon. Members insist, the Motion may be put in two separate parts, but neither part is debateable.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Is it intended to put it in two separate parts?

Mr. SPEAKER

Does the hon. Member ask that it should be put in that way?

Mr. BUCHANAN

Yes.

Mr. SPEAKER

I would only point out to the hon. Member that, in asking to have separate Motions put, he is depriving his own colleagues of opportunity of speaking on the other matters which are to come before the House.

Mr. BUCHANAN

It is my wish that it should be put as two separate Motions.

Question put, That this day, notwithstanding anything in Standing Order No. 15, Business other than Business of Supply, may be taken before Eleven of the Clock.

The House divided: Ayes, 207; Noes, 89.
